I agree it will not be on the Longhaul Contract, no other airline in the world has a contract like it. It will be a Stick hours contract and you will be actually required to Stick 700-1000 hours a year like almost every other airline in the world. You cant stick 300-500 hours a year and say its an efficient award in anyones language. Having said that it doesnt mean you will be worse off, probably youll get paid more because of the higher stick hours, ala QF 767 vs 737 where the majority of 737 crew actually get paid more than the 767 crew, but they fly more hours for it.
